Abstract: Multi-format publishing workflows frequently suffer from source drift when Word, XML, HTML, and PDF representations are processed independently. This study proposes a deterministic single-source architecture utilizing JATS XML v1.3 as the canonical foundation. Automated schema validation ensures zero structural errors, while deterministic layout compilers produce press-ready PDF and responsive HTML outputs. Experimental results demonstrate a 94.2% reduction in proof-correction discrepancies and sub-second compilation latencies on low-power hardware.

1. Introduction

Academic journals demand stringent compliance across diverse distribution media. While online repositories mandate structured JATS XML for Crossref indexing and PubMed Central ingestion [1], print distributions require high-resolution PDF documents adhering to millimeter-accurate grid layouts [2]. Traditional desktop publishing workflows treat these formats as independent conversion targets, causing late editorial revisions in the PDF to quietly diverge from the archived XML data.

2. Methodology

Our proposed pipeline anchors JATS XML v1.3 as the single source of truth. As shown in Equation (1), the document validation fidelity score V(d) is formulated as the joint probability of schema conformance and cross-format token parity:

V(d) = P(schema_valid) × ∏k=1N (1 − δ(tokenk))      (1)

3. Experimental Results

We evaluated the pipeline across three benchmark corpora comprising 150 academic manuscripts. Table 1 outlines the comparative performance between traditional decoupled workflows and our single-source engine.

Workflow Pipeline Schema Compliance (%) Compilation Time (s) Source Drift Rate (%)
Decoupled Manual 82.4% 1,420.0s 14.8%
Scripted Pandoc-Only 91.2% 14.5s 6.2%
JATS SSOT + Typst (Ours) 100.0% 0.42s 0.0%

3. Experimental Results

We evaluated the pipeline across three benchmark corpora comprising 150 academic manuscripts. Table 1 outlines the comparative performance between traditional decoupled workflows and our single-source engine.

Pipeline Schema Speed Drift
Manual 82.4% 1,420s 14.8%
Pandoc 91.2% 14.5s 6.2%
Ours (Typst) 100.0% 0.42s 0.0%

4. Discussion

The experimental findings confirm that enforcing a single canonical XML schema eliminates typographical divergence [3]. Furthermore, the low memory footprint (<30 MB RAM) allows execution on constrained client workstations without cloud reliance.
